Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook suggested Sunday that internal DNC emails leaked this week were an effort from the Russians to help Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
“What’s disturbing to us is that experts are telling us Russian state actors broke into the DNC, stole these emails, and other experts are now saying that the Russians are releasing these emails for the purpose of actually of helping Donald Trump,” Mook said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“I don’t think it’s coincidental that these emails were released on the eve of our convention.”
Mook did not provide evidence that the Russians were trying to help Trump when pressed by CNN’s Jake Tapper to back up his charges, instead falling back on what “experts” were saying.
“This isn’t my assertion — there are a number of experts that are asserting this,” Mook said. “I think we need to get to the bottom of these facts. But that’s what experts are telling us. Experts are telling us it is, in fact, the Russians who hacked these emails.”
Last month, it was publicly revealed that Russian government hackers had broken into the Democratic National Committee computer servers, which included opposition research on Trump. The DNC emails released by Wikileaks on Friday showed DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other DNC staffers being critical of the Bernie Sanders campaign.

Donald Trump Jr. talked to Jake Tapper and called the claims desperate, and that the struggling Clinton would do and say anything in order to spin and deflect bad news off of Hillary and try and bring his father’s name into the scandal to mitigate it.
DWS, as a result of the leaks has been disinvited to the DNC.
Is that their way of covering up what was said within the emails?
Distract much?
Scumbags, all of them.
Not to pick nits, but so what if they did? That doesn’t negate the CONTENTS of the freaking emails. I really hate Democrats.
Had Cankles not committed those crimes, there would be nothing to leak by anyone…duh…are Dhimmos that stupid?
I just love the smell of desperation in the morning!
The other day I said here that Hillary was going down. Today, I’m saying that she KNOWS she’s going down.
I CAN’T WAIT for the DNC toga party to start in Philly!
Maybe the Clinton Crime Family Foundation shook-down the wrong organization?
Well, the name MOOK says it all.
Have mercy.
Sit down and shut up. In case you didn’t notice, Mook. There is a YUGE credibility problem coming from the stench of shit Clinton has tried to bury for years.
Why would the Russians, bought and paid for by Clinton money, not want to continue the Clinton money flow and favors, from all the blackmail fodder they have on them?
Bullshit! The Russians would FAR rather have the Hildabeast than Trump. They already know they can steer her around with cash. Trump is a fuckin’ wild card and may prove to be a formidable adversary.
What experts, name names. Also since Mook doesn’t deny the contents, they are 100% authentic.
If that is the case, wait until they dump the 30,000 e-mails from her server.
@Lowell
I disagree. I think the Rusians want to work with adults. There is too much shit going on for 4 mores years of feckless progresives screwing up the world. When watching a video of Putin and BHO, the contempt Putin has for BHO jumps out of the TV and slaps you in the face.
Nixon’s revenge.
Spin, Baby Spin.
A tangled web of more Clinton deflection, deceit and deception.
The release of the e-mails was a direct result of a video, you know just like hillary’s Benghazi murders.
MOOK: An adjective that has a face.
“@Lowell

You may have a point here. And I thank you for bringing this to my attention.
There are smart people here. I think you are one of them.
The enthusiasm for Tim Kaine via my lefty friends on Facebooj is essentially non existent. They are puzzled by the choice because it’s so tone deaf to Bernie supporters. There is even a malaise (!!!) that Hil is going to lose and Elizabeth Warren didn’t want to b tainted by a landslide defeat-and is saving herself till 2020-just like Cruz I guess? 😜
So they admit that her illegal use of a personal server put US security at risk and was in fact hacked by the Russians and other foreign governments?
CALLED IT!

Seriously, I should be getting paid for this.
That Trump has Russian groomed people in his inner circle is well known.
There are also certain aspects of this election that resemble a proxy war between Russia and the Muzzies.
Why would Putin work AGAINST Hillary when she gave him 20% of US uranium – a rare and key strategic nuclear material?
If it doesn’t make sense it isn’t true.
More proof that Hillary left her scruples, morals and honesty under a lava lamp on a small plant stand next to her Granny glasses, an ashtray full of roaches and her thesis on Saul Alinsky and Karl Marx when she traipsed off in pursuit of a draft-dodging, tax-evading, dope-smoking, coke-sniffing, money-laundering, drug dealing, girl-friend beating, pants-dropping, weenie-wagging, masturbating, sexual predator, rapist, finger wagging liar, self-centered, self-serving, hornswaggling, double-dealing, four-flushing, power hungry, money grubbing, influence pedaling thief who would eventually be convicted of perjury, impeached and disbarred and forever known as the low-life bicycle seat-sniffing trailer park troll who dragged our nation’s morality down to the level of an Arkansas outhouse!
JohnS could you give us some names so we can let the press and Killary know.
It was not the Russians – it was aliens. I am sick and tired of the Democrats screwing around on their excuses – it’s time to go full retard.
Putin can run narcissist rings around Barry, because he’s no challenge. Trump on the other hand is a real testosterone dominated challenger – Putin is thrilled about a Trump presidency.
As far as Hellary is concerned, she’s a woman. What self-respecting dictators treats a woman as an equal? Putin’s using her and Bill. They’re traitors and Soviet cronies. It’s over for the Clintons if they outlive their usefulness to Putin.

If I carelessly got some Mook on my shoes, I’d try to scrape it off with dried dog turds and yesterday’s road-kill squirrel.
I was wondering what a Mook was. Now I know.
Mr. Saltine, have you heard of Manafort?
You could start with him. Look into his dealings with Russia and the Ukraine.
As you learn about it, other names that you will find familiar will pop up.
Sorry, there is no 2 minute primer that can get you up to speed on this issue, especially considering that you missed all the articles that have been written and the security issues that came about due to the Manafort pick.
Is that pajama boy all growed up!
A few weeks back COD posted in the Bullpen that Putin was going to release Hiliary’s Sec of State emails that she deleted. I guess COD thought that was a way to destroy Hiliary. I mocked COD and said (and I paraphrase) “So, Putin is supporting Trump……….Hmmmmm?”
Big Fur Hat said that that was a snipe at Trump. No, that was a snipe at COD for falling for Hiliary’s talking point. COD took the bait hook line and sinker.
Putin wants us to be in KAOS, lets not fall for it.
Menderman, that Putin has those emails is not in dispute, even by Clinton.
If he calculates that releasing them will be to his advantage, he will. Actually WikiLeaks will probably do it for him as they have done in the past. Keeps his hands clean.
The Clintons have already been bought by Putin in the Uranium One deal …. now he’s angling for Trump ….
Savvy?
Frickin’ HILARIOUS!!!
